Why would I even consider this?

The four carriers I mentioned were the ones involved in this actual operation which occured in 1945.

The aircraft from the British Pacific Fleet that took part in these raids included:

Fairey Firefly
Corsair MKII (F4U-1A with clipped wings)
Hellcat I (F6F-3)
Avenger MkIII (TBM)

Had you heard of Cam ship? Try Google that word.

I am not questioning the existence of the "Cam" ship. And yes I have seen footage of these being used in the Atlantic as part of convoy defense against FW 200 Condors. So do not assume I did not know what you were referring.

I am questioning its relevance to this particular mission since I already listed the only British Aircraft Carriers that were historically part of this Operation Meridian I.

First my mission represents the Operation Meridian which took place January 24, 1945 not early war.
Second the Operation took place off of the southern coast of the Island of Sumatra in the Indian Ocean not the Atlantic.
Third although Seafires were used in the operation, they only performed Combat Air Patrol around the fleet because they did not have the range to fly to Palembang from the British Pacific Fleet's launch point some 150 nautical miles away.
Fourth there were no Hurricanes or Sea Hurricanes involved in Operation Meridian I.

So tell me, why would I put a "CAM" ship with a single hurricane in this mission when it never operated in the Indian Ocean.
